Are the panels glassed or encased in a polymer? This story is more for glassed modules, but it should help: https://www.solarpowerworldonline.com/2020/05/pro-tip-never-use-soap-to-clean-dirty-solar-panels/

What do we need to be aware of when cleaning our roof when we have solar film? The company that installed the film 10+ years ago is no longer in business. Thank you.

Also, assuming a metal roof of 3800 square feet to be covered with thin film solar, and assuming Mia Sole’s touted 16.5% efficiency, in order to run a normal house, how much functionality would this house get related to an on grid utility company?

We in South Africa make extensive use of the 175W and 165W thin films, out performing anything else here. My issue is availability?
